I normally don’t cover international ads; however, since Matt Lauer and the Today Show went to Cuba this week and we had the posting on Cane (the new Cuban CBS Show) I figured I would keep the spirit and end the week the same. I was also reading Latin-know and Mi blog es tu blog by a fellow Hispanic bloggers and found their posts about the controversy over an Iberia spot from Spain not only insightful and comical, but very fitting to the theme.

Curiously, in researching this post, I learned about the Bloggers for Cuban Liberty and learned that they have become the voice to denounce this campaign as exploitive and derogatory. I’d have to agree with them on this one. I had no idea they even existed.

I would like to point out that this group is a further testament to how social media (blogging in this case) is changing the way the Hispanic market communicates their views and opinions…even about politics in Cuba.
